Subject:	Service Pensions Indexation

I have been advised of a Senate Select Committee on 
Superannuation and Finance will be sitting 14-15 March to 
discuss/determine the method of calculating adjustments to the 
Service Pension.

May I respectfully suggest that Service Pension be directly linked 
to the current discharge pension rate, or failing that, be indexed to 
MTAWE.

Service pension should NOT, as now, be indexed to CPI, as the 
result is inequitable, and results in a shortfall over time in relation 
to both serving personnel and civilian earnings.
